Per the
Daily Kos exclusive story in February, a
people's petition has been created demanding a federal investigation of Florida Governor Rick Scott and Koch Industries/Georgia Pacific.
Georgia-Pacific/Koch Industries is permitted to discharge up to 60 million gallons per day of toxic waste into the St. Johns River, smothering the bottom with tons of solids and making the water unfit for human/animal use. The pipeline easement was issued by FDEP, as agent for the Florida Governor and Cabinet, after a highly misleading newspaper notice and no fair opportunity to request an evidentiary hearing. (http://bit.ly/....) The river should be held in trust by the Governor and Cabinet for the people of Florida, not given away for private use as dumping grounds and without just compensation.
Inside sources say more legal motions are about to be filed in this case. Meanwhile, the linked petition is beginning to take flight. This is one of many Koch Brothers protests and investigations popping up throughout the country. The Koch Brothers have been trying buy America via education, environment, and government. The people are finally becoming aware - and they are fighting back.
Here is the link to the people's petition. For those who feel uncomfortable signing petitions, they can also share, tweet, post or email the petition, giving it further exposure.
